hell i ordered a short throw shifter and the install was going great until i went to remove the shifter from the shift linkage. the 12mm bolt and nut are killing me i removed the nut with no problem but the dang bolt will not come out. i tried using a socket and ratchet to back thread it out but no luck i can see what looks to be the shifter bearing or whatever the bolt is going threw turning with the bolt its not the bottom of th shifter but the tube thats running threw the center. please help me figure out how to get this bolt out. thanks
